Master of Games, Master of Mafia, and Mafia Achievements

[Kuroaitou]

What is Master of Games?

Master of Games is not a Forum Game in itself. It is a game of Forum Games.

How does it work?

When playing a Forum Game, there may sometimes be a winner (e.g. Scarab) or a winning team (e.g. Push). The winner will receive some points for a special leaderboard. The player atop the leaderboard will get an award, which he/she will keep until someone else gets the lead. The current icon may be redesigned.

Mafia games will also award points to the winning team (the mafia, the town folk, or third parties), but will have its own separate system. There will be a separate icon for winning the most mafias (regardless of which side they were on more).

Do I get points for past victories?

Yes, but please notify a Forum Game Organizer if there is an inconsistency in awarding points retroactively vs. current winners.

How do I know which games will count?

The definition of a 'game' is subjective to every person, but there's a general rule of thumb here. While some games require more strategy, skill, and/or cooperation than others, there are three main rules for a forum game to count towards the Master of Games rankings:

• The game in question provides a tangible 'goal' and non-random responses in order to 'play' (Corrupt a Wish, Vending Machine 5.0, etc. don't count as they lack a vision for how to 'win')
• Games that failed to end correctly due to inactivity, mismanagement, bad structure/rules, or from a lack of a clear winner will not gain points (even retroactively).
• The game must be part of the Forum Games section. Unofficial games in other sections (Off-topic, General Discussion, etc.) will not count.

Is this a Master Title like Master of Time? Or Card Curator? Or Global Moderator? Will I get special privileges if I'm a Master of Games/Mafia Master?

No, and no. There will be no special title underneath your name like the major staffing positions, nor will you get access to other boards or whatnot for being a Master of Games/Mafia Master. This is all just for 'fun'. >_>

You mean tables? Oh no, no worries about that; it might be a lot simpler if we just use gdocs for everything, because that way we don't have to deal with extensive tables of doomsauce to organize and space out correctly. The spreadsheets are (or should be) far more readable if they're set up correctly, but thanks again.

Oh, I meant in the sense of sifting and compiling information to find out who played in which mafia game and the like, but if it's all well then that's great, looking forward to finally seeing my name on the list

shouldnt andretimpa get 3 points for a 2nd place in fg says? unless i misunderstood something

[Submachine]

Do we get a point penalty for losing in mafia or is it the same as if we wouldn't even participating in one - thus giving 0 zero points?

Fixed.

0 points. There's no point penalties in any of these games, as that would be somewhat detrimental to playing/hosting a mafia... >_>

How many points should each game give?

How many points should each game give?

Sorry for the late response. ^^;

For regular games - Single-player/Team games have different point totals, and have points for first and second place:
Single player 1st place: 5
Single player 2nd place: 3
Team-based 1st place: 4
Team-based 2nd place: 2

And ties reduce point totals by 1 for all those in whatever position. The 'Witch's Game' doesn't count as either unfortunately, because there's no real way of 'scoring' who solved what mystery in a concrete matter (and coming up with such a solution would be a headache just thinking about it).

Mafia games are determined by the number of 'mafia' players that need to be hunted down in a game; if there's only 3 mafia players, it's only worth 3 points.  If it's 8, it's worth 8 points, etc.
